Acne treatment

Acne is a skin condition which affects many of us, at various stages of life. Commonly linked with changes to hormone levels during puberty, adult acne can also affect many people throughout their life.

As well as hormonal changes acne can also be triggered by other factors such as stress and can be hereditary. In fact, the NHS estimates that more than a third of people seeking acne treatment are over 35.

Here is a testimonial from our patient Katie, 19, who came to us as she was unhappy with her skin:

“I was extremely self conscious of my appearance as I would get the odd acne breakout, and had some acne scars which I wasn’t happy with. I would never leave the house without a full face of make up”Katie has since had her acne and acne scarring addressed with a combination approach using devices, topical cosmeceutical skincare and facial treatments:“I have now completely stopped using foundation because of the iS Clinical skin products and I feel confident to not put any make up on to go out. My skin has never felt or looked so good.”

VISIA takes images of your face from three precise angles which not only helps you see what is happening now, but also means you can accurately review how your treatment results are progressing over time.

Using IntelliFlash®, cross-polarized and UV lighting, we record and measure surface and subsurface skin conditions. UV photography provides the most complete data set available for skin assessment and analysis.

By using VISIA technology, we can analyse your skin condition from the superficial level such as acne spots and blemishes, to any deep underlying damage, such as ultraviolet damage and pigmentation.

iS CLINICAL products for acne are formulated with pharmaceutical-grade botanical ingredients that work synergistically and safely to clear the complexion. The Acne regime includes products that encourage exfoliation while addressing inflammation and infection.

Our products are pharmaceutical grade, meaning they contain higher concentrations of the active ingredients, compared to typical high street skin care which usually contain only cosmetic grade raw materials, which are considerably less effective.

HydraFacial is an advanced medical facial treatment which consists of a six stage process that helps to detoxify the skin, cleanse and exfoliate, remove dead skin cells, extract any debris and provide long lasting hydration and essential nutrient support to protect and rebuild collagen levels.

The HydraFacial treatment can be tailored for acneic skin and both detoxifies and hydrates whilst the blue and red light LED therapy work to calm inflammation and reduce oil and bacteria.

Often a series of treatments works most effectively on people who suffer with acne. HydraFacial treatments for acne can be used on both the back and the face.

Designed to resurface the skin, this intensive clinical treatment reduces fine lines and wrinkles and provides deep cleansing of blocked pores. It’s a multi-step treatment with two masque applications followed by application of a serum and a cream to soothe and moisturise the skin.

The Fire & Ice can also help clear acne and improve acne scarring, as part of a prescriptive treatment program.

This treatment works as a one-off skin rejuvenation treat, but for more intensive and long-lasting results, we recommend using once per week over a six week period as part of a skin program.

EndyMed™ Fractional Skin Resurfacing levels off the skin, ironing out stretch marks and scars as well as shrinking pores and improving texture. This treatment is only carried out by Miss Balaratnam and leaves the skin feeling revitalised and as good as new.

Endymed FSR has received clearance from the U.S.A. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and clinical studies have proven it is very effective in the improvement of skin texture in both acne scars and traumatic scars.

Results can be seen after 1 treatment and normally a course of 3 treatments, a minimum of 2 weeks apart is recommended.

We take pride in delivering the very best treatments to our patients and tailoring our approach to each individual. Here’s what some of our patients have been saying about us:

“Since I’ve been using iS clinical my skin regime has completely changed. I have never known a skin product to benefit my skin in so many ways.” Katie, 19, Beaconsfield

“I have had EndyMed 3DEEP Tightening and Contouring on my face and body. The results are incredible and my skin felt tighter and firmer straight away. Three days later my skin is soft and smooth. With such a sophisticated device, a programme of EndyMed 3DEEP is certainly worth it.” Elouise 29, High Wycombe

“The EndyMed is such a fabulous treatment that I can’t recommend enough. I walked out of the clinic not only glowing, but radiating from the inside out… it felt fabulous!” Annas, 39, Beaconsfield

“I would like to say a huge thank you to Sherina and her team for a wonderful experience – they truly are experts in their field.” – Tracey, 36, Berkshire.”

“Sherina really listened to what I wanted to achieve from my treatments – so I opted for some facial fillers to lift and refresh my cheeks and eyes, as well as shaping my lips. Sherina made the whole process very easy and comfortable and I am absolutely delighted with the results. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”
Julia, 32, from Beaconsfield

“The Fire & Ice treatment is absolutely amazing and refreshing. I walked out of the S-Thetics clinic glowing and feeling fantastic and that was not the end… The result got even better the following day. My skin felt clear, clean and radiant.” Theresa, 40, Gerrards Cross
